FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Pallarider Zip Mix boots are designed for durability and comfort. While the materials offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof. For optimal performance in wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for leather and textile.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics or insoles if needed.
What is the heel height?
The heel and outsole combined measure approximately 54mm.
How do I clean the nylon part of the boot?
The recycled nylon can be spot-cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What kind of socks are best for these boots?
For everyday wear, standard mid-weight socks are suitable. During the break-in period or for extended outdoor use, consider moisture-wicking wool or synthetic socks for added comfort and performance.
How does the sizing run?
Palladium boots generally run true to size. It is recommended to refer to the sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. The removable insole also offers some flexibility in fit.
What is the main benefit of the Vibram® outsole?
The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional grip, durability, and resistance to wear, providing superior traction on a variety of surfaces, from urban streets to rugged trails.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track if necessary.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The Vibram® outsole provides excellent grip, but performance can vary on extremely slick surfaces like ice. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris, which can reduce traction. If the issue persists on expected surfaces, contact customer support.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the leather with a soft brush. Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck leather to restore moisture and color. Address scuffs by gently brushing or using a nubuck eraser.
